Disc Care and Handling
Proper handling and storage of discs is very important. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, playback, sound and picture will be adversely affected.
Handling

•Do not apply labels or use any adhesive on
either the label side or playback side.
Storing discs

•Do not put discs where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or high temperatures or humidity. Avoid leaving discs in a car!
Cleaning discs
•Wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.

About Output Signals
NTSC is the correct choice for TVs in North America. PAL TVs are used through most of the rest of the world.
With either NTSC or PAL TV’s you can select INTERLACE (“NTSC” or “PAL”) or PROGRES- SIVE (“NTSC PROG” or “PAL PROG”). Picture quality is better with the “PROGRESSIVE” mode. But only newer, high performance TVs can accept progressive signals. A progressive signal is only available from the Component Output Connectors q so the TV must have component inputs.
If you are unsure about which setting to use, contact your authorized Rotel dealer.
